There is a war for your mind. This new Bitcoin Security Consortium is a cartel that wants to control Bitcoin. But to do that they must control your opinion. Influencing Core development only gives them control of a GitHub repo. To control the network they have to influence all of you to keep running Core on your nodes.

I don't trust people who don't like dogs, and I don't trust people who my dogs don't like.

TAPROOT IS GAY.

`@codex review` 👀 "Your shit's all fucked up and retarded." The fuck? You built it. Hey ChatGPT, tell Codex to fix this shit!

So many people don't get this. You're not a bitcoiner if you don't broadcast your transactions with your own node, without relying on somebody else's node to do it for you. Saylor is not a bitcoiner, no matter how much Bitcoin his company buys or whatever bullshit he says. View quoted note →

One of the more absurd liberal assumptions is the notion that people act badly because they are suffering, rather than concluding that most people are suffering because they act badly. I've met plenty of people who suffer stoically. They don't misbehave no matter what life throws at them.

Aw sheeyit my weekly reset five days early again. I have no idea how or why it keeps doing that but I'm not complaining. View quoted note →

$100 of Codex credits goes fast! I'm just gonna have to wait a week for a limit reset to finish this project.

Sadly this post is a casualty of nuking my old @nostr.build account! @The Fishcake (nostr.build) mistakes were made! I didn't consider that deleting that account would break this epic gem! I have all the images backed up to my hard drive I'll have to upload them to my new account. The #cornstr posting was good times! View quoted note →

Update: it's going well for him so far. View quoted note →

These are a great little tool. So many uses! I bought this a few months back to be able to flash a bootable Linux USB stick from my android phone.

Bitcoin differs from modern fiat in that the issuance is fixed and consensus over the ledger is decentralized, but like modern fiat it is a theoretical money where the ledger is not grounded to any physical reality. There is no guaranteed 1:1 exchange of Bitcoin for something real of known value. So stability is gained though perpetual price discovery in the exchange of real goods and services of known value. Currently the majority of Bitcoin is not exchanged this way but rather exchanged speculatively for fiat, and so the theoretical value is speculative and subject to the rise and fall of hype. That's why it is so volatile. In exchanging one theoretical money for another there is no direct link to reality in this method of price discovery. I've heard all kinds of abstract nonsense about Bitcoin being backed by electricity or computer hardware and what not. The cost of being randomly selected to add the next page to the ledger is not a backing of value in the practical sense, such as the way bank notes used to be backed by gold. There's no guaranteed exchange anchoring the unit of account to physical reality. It's a theoretical money with floating value that must be perpetually discovered in the exchange for things that are real. If you lock up the entire UTXO set among holders who don't want to exchange it then the value essentially vanishes because it's not being proven in exchange.
